Definitions

  • This invention relates to data communications and computer networking, and more particularly, to the transfer of digital information on packet data networks such as the Internet, between caches.
  • IASP Intemet Access Service Provider
  • An object may be one or more pages of textual information, a picture, a sound clip, a video clip, a JAVA applet or other software, any combination or the former, or anything that is capable of being transmitted digitally over the Internet to a client terminal.
  • IASP Intemet Access Service Provider
  • a cache located within the IASP network, functions as an intermediary in transactions involving the retrieval of such Web objects from servers by a client terminal.
  • a cache within the IASP saves a copy of a retrieved object for itself when the object is moved from the server to the requesting client terminal.
  • This caching operation is transparent to the user and, under normal circumstances, does not incur any significant delay due to the copying operation which is performed simultaneously as the object is retrieved from the server and delivered to the client terminal.
  • FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a prior art network in which plural client terminals, such as 101 and 102, are connected to a cache 103 within IASP 104.
  • Cache 103 in tum, is connected to a server 105 connected to the Intemet 106.
  • IASP 104 By storing an object from server 105 in cache 103 when it is first retrieved by client 101, subsequent requests for that same object by client 101, or any another client connected to cache 103 within IASP 104, such as client 102, can be satisfied directly from cache 103.
  • IASP 104 likely also includes a second or more caches, such as cache 107, which serves other clients connected to that same IASP, such as 108 and 109. The objects stored in this second cache 107, or other caches within IASP 104, but not shown, could be used to serve the clients attached to the first cache 103, if the caches communicate with each other.
  • discovery of objects on other than the cache to which the requesting client is attached is done by explicit querying at the time when the request for a particular object is made. That is, whenever a request from a client cannot be satisfied by the cache to which the client is connected, a plurality of requests are sent out to neighboring caches asking them whether they have a copy of the desired object stored in their memory.
  • the steps of querying a plurality of caches, waiting for a reply, and then downloading a copy of the object from the cache that has the object or retrieving a copy of the object from the originating server of the object if the object cannot be found in a neighboring cache may impart a delay to the retrieval process that is unacceptable to the requesting user.
  • the flooding of requests to all neighboring caches in response to each request for an object can be a wasteful use of network bandwidth, as well as draining the caches' computing resources.
  • the copy of an object as it exists on a neighboring cache may differ from the object as it then exists in the server from which it originated.
  • the object available to a requesting cache from a responding cache may not be current and may be a stale or outdated version of the object as it currently exists in the server, and thus not suitable to be supplied to a client requesting that object.
  • a cache is provided information about what objects its neighboring cache carries, and other information about those objects in the neighboring cache, such as the times these objects were modified in the neighboring cache, the type of content of these objects, and the sizes of these objects.
  • the latter information may be useful for planning disk space usage.
  • This information gathering process is distinct from the actual retrieval of an object from a neighboring cache, or in the alternative, from the actual server carrying the most recent version of the object, and is performed asynchronous to a request from any client for the object.
  • Web caches update each other about Web objects in their cache through various mechanisms.
  • a requesting cache queries a responding cache for information about all or a subset of objects in the responding cache that have been modified since a given date and time.
  • "Modified" as used herein includes objects that may have been updated or created in that cache since the given time.
  • a responding cache informs the requesting cache periodically about modifications to objects in which that the requesting cache had previously express interest.
  • neighboring caches maintain state-information on what objects the other caches have based on the messages previously sent to it.
  • each cache maintains state-information on objects in every neighbor cache with which it communicates.
  • the fourth mechanism is applicable to the case where numerous peering caches exist, and each of which is interested in each other cache's content. Information that a cache has collected about the content of other caches is then used in together with the content of its own cache for compiling the messages sent to any given cache.
  • the present invention is a mechanism by which Web caches update each other about what Web objects are in their cache.
  • Update notification is distinct from actually sending the modified Web objects.
  • the notification typically involves information from which the receiving cache can determine what Web objects are stored in the neighboring cache, but also information such as the time when the object in the neighboring cache was last modified.
  • the notification may contain other information that might be useful to the requesting cache such as the size, in bytes, of the object to enable the requesting cache to plan its disk space usage, and the type of contents of the object.
  • the cache that desires information about the contents of its neighbor cache is referred to hereinafter at the Requesting Cache (RQC), and the neighbor cache that sends out information about what it stores is referred to as the Responding Cache (RSC).
  • RQC Requesting Cache
  • RSC Responding Cache
  • the mechanism of the present invention is operable in an environment where some caches may only act as RQCs and others only as RSCs. Specifically in a hierarchical topology, a situation can be envisioned where caches lower in the hierarchy only request information, and those higher up in the hierarchy only respond. "Higher” is used in the sense, that the link to the Intemet is at the highest level, and the Web clients or browsers are at the lowest level. Most popular commercial browsers, have caches co-located. Such a client-cache would typically always be a RQC. It may also function as an RSC, if neighboring browsers have the permission to "look" at the private caches of other browsers.
  • FIG. 2 illustrates the mechanism for a RQC-initiated notification.
  • the RQC 201 initiates a request 202 to the RSC 203 to inform it about all or a subset of objects that are stored in RSC 203 and have been updated within RSC 203 since a given date and time or are new to RSC 203.
  • the term "modified since a given date and time" as applied to objects shall be used to mean those objects that are new to the RSC since that time and date, as well as those objects that have been updated since that time and date.
  • the address list of URLs in the request may include objects with individual URLs, or a plurality of objects within a range of URLs using a wildcard symbol to represent all those objects whose URLs share address commonality.
  • this request may include a request for information about both updates to existing objects previously stored in RSC 203 as well as objects that have been newly added in RSC 203.
  • the request 202 includes an "if modified since" (IMS) date, thereby indicating to the RSC that information about objects is requested only if the object has been modified in the cache or newly added to the cache since that IMS date.
  • IMS "if modified since"
  • RSC 203 checks those listed URLs to determine whether the object has in fact been modified in the cache since the IMS date.
  • the response 204 thereto is a list of those URLs that in fact have been modified in the RSC since the IMS date, together with the times at which those URLs were modified. This information may also include the size of the requested URL object, as well as other information about the object, such as the type of content of the object.
  • the RQC 201 then parses the response and decides, using the retrieved information about those requested URLs, specifically which URLs it desires to download to itself.
  • This downloading can in fact be done on its own, based on its own set of rules, or may be done at a later time in response to an actual request for that object by a user who is connected to RQC 201.
  • RQC decides to retrieve the object with URL url , it makes a request 205 to GET the object with URL url using the HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP), which is the predominant World Wide Web Internet protocol.
  • HTTP HyperText Transfer Protocol
  • the RSC 203 in reply to that GET request, sends a response 206 back to RQC 201 that includes a copy of the body of the object with URL url that is has stored.
  • FIG. 3 illustrates a mechanism for an RSC-initiated scheme in which the RSC tells the RQC every so often about changes to objects in which the RSC had previously expressed interest.
  • a first mode information about objects that have been modified is transmitted to the RSC on a periodic basis.
  • a second mode information is sent whenever a requested object in fact is updated or created in the RQC. Both modes can co-exist.
  • the RQC 301 first registers a request 302 with RSC 303 for update events for a range of URLs. The RSC 303 then registers those requests and transmits an acknowledgment 304 back to RQC 301. After registration, RSC 303 transmits an update message back to RQC 301 whenever one of those registered URLs is modified.
  • URL url1 when URL url1 is modified, a message 305 containing information about the object is transmitted to the RQC 301.
  • RQC 301 may decide to make a request 306 to GET url1 using the HTTP/1.0 protocol.
  • the RQC 301 may decide not to download it.
  • the RQC decides not to make a request to download the modified url2.
  • the RQC makes a request to download the modified object.
  • the motivation of the present invention for simply sending notification messages instead of the Web objects themselves is twofold. Firstly, it enables a sense of cache coherency even if the RQC may not have space left on its system to copy the Web object itself. Since this is done asynchronous to user requests, and not as a consequence to a request, caches know ahead of time what other caches carry, and therefore can save delay as perceived by the user (by preventing fruitless queries to neighbor caches), as well as network and cache resources. Secondly, the invention permits a logical separation between information regarding the modification time of an object, and the content of the object itself. A cache can therefore choose what objects it would like to refresh or cache, before it downloads them. Since the information carried can include other aspects of the object, such as the size in bytes, the cache is better prepared before downloading the object. For example, the size of a particular object may be very large and the cache may choose not to download it due to insufficient storage capacity.
  • the new or modified Web objects can be retrieved either individually or as a batch using multipart messages, Keep-Alive connections, or compression, or any other scheme.
  • caches maintain state-information on what other caches have, partly based on the messages sent to it. Once this state-information is available, messages sent back and forth can be further streamlined. Specifically, it is useless to send messages about updated objects at one's cache to a neighbor for which is known, from the neighbor's previous message, has a more recent or equally recent version of the object.
  • This third mechanism shown in FIG. 4, is only viable between caches that can act as both RQCs and RSCs. This mechanism is particularly designed for use for the case when peering caches within an IASP are interested in knowing about all the modified objects on all the caches. While this mechanism requires each cache to maintain some state information about what is on its neighbors' caches, it significantly reduces communication overhead, especially when the number of objects in each cache is large.
  • cache 401 sends neighbor cache 402 a message 403 containing information about a set of URLs.
  • cache 402 updates the state-information it has accumulated on its neighbor cache 401.
  • Cache 402 then, based on the state-information that cache 402 has on cache 401, sends a message 404 that contains information about a set of modified URLs that is newer than what cache 401 has.
  • message 404 is received by cache 401, the state-information cache 401 has on cache 402 is updated and, based on that state information, information about URLs that is newer than what cache 402 has is sent to cache 402 in message 405. This algorithm is repeated at caches 401 and 402 in response to each received message from the other.
  • each cache maintains state-information (as a table) on every neighbor cache with which it communicates.
  • Each table is essentially a list of URLs with their modification times at the cache.
  • Each item in the list is thus a 2-tuple of the form: ( url i , t i ) where t i is the modified time of the object identified by URL url i .
  • t i is the modified time of the object identified by URL url i .
  • the previously described mechanism of FIG. 4 can be further streamlined for the case of an IASP where numerous peering caches exits, each of which are interested in every other cache's content.
  • this mechanism illustrated in FIG. 5, information that a cache has collected about content on other caches is also used in addition to the content on its own cache in compiling messages to any given cache.
  • This mechanism further reduces overhead because each cache does not have to directly exchange messages with all other caches. It also needs to only maintain a single state for the entire caching system instead of separately maintaining the state for each peering cache; the sum of state information on all caches being much larger than the state of the entire caching system.
  • the list of new URLs (since one's last response to the neighboring cache) one knows about consist of a set of 3-tuples of the form ( url x , t x , c x ). Each of these are sent in the response message unless c x ⁇ c i .
  • the message sent to a neighbor cache in response to receiving a set of modified URLs from that neighbor cache is a list of URLs that are that new on the caching system unless the neighbor to which the response is directed has the most recent version of the URL.
  • FIG. 6 illustrates the protocol mechanism for a RQC-initiated notification mode between RQC 601 and RSC 602.
  • the HTTP/1.0 and HTTP/1.1 syntax for the Request-Line is:
  • Request-Line "CONTENTS” SP "*” SP HTTP-Version CRLF
  • the If-Modified-Since field in the request header is used to specify that only those content changes that took place after the date specified by the If-Modified-Since field are of interest. This field is a departure from the way this field is normally used in the GET method. In the latter, the IMS field specifies that the document is of interest only if the actual modification time is more recent than the IMS field. Here, the IMS field is used to indicate interest in the document only if the document has been modified at the cache since the IMS time.
  • the Range field is used to specify the URLs that are of interest. This is a field whose syntax has yet to be specified in HTTP/1.1, and it would desirable if all regular expressions can be expressed by this field.
  • the request line is: CONTENTS * HTTP/1.0 wherein CONTENTS is the method requesting is a list of URLs, the "*" means that the method is controlled by protocol, and that HTTP/1.0 is that protocol.
  • This line is followed by a CRLF.
  • Accept application/www-contents which means that if the RSC sends the RQC a response in accordance with that defined application, the RQC will be able to understand it.
  • the last line is: Range: http://www.nytimes.com/* This defines the range of URLs which are of interest, with "*” indicating that all "www.nytimes.com” objects are of interest.
  • the response to the RQC needs to follow a specific format. Instead of defining this within the protocol, it is left to the RSC to specify the format, although the format definition itself needs to have a specific syntax.
  • the format of the contents file contains a sequence of lines containing ASCII characters terminated by either the sequence LF (line feed) or CRLF.
  • Content file generators should follow the line termination convention for the platform on which they are executed. Each line may contain either a directive or a (part of a) entry. Entries consist of a sequence of fields relating to a single HTTP object. If a field is unused in a particular entry, "-" marks the omitted field.
  • Directives provide information about the version, as well as header fields of the objects that follow. Lines beginning with the # character contain directives. The following directives are defined:
  • the line "201 O.K.” indicates that the request was understood and that a valid response follows.
  • Content-Type on the next line indicates that the a special document with a certain syntax follows that is not just textual in nature.
  • the directive #Version defines the type of syntax, specifically version 1.0.
  • the directive #Syntax: Last-Modified CRLF URL SP Content-Length indicates that what follows will have the format of the last modified date, on a next line, the URL that has been modified at the RSC 602, followed by a space and the size of the object in bytes.
  • the response 604 indicates that two objects matched the request 603.
  • the first object has URL http://www.nytimes.com/index.html, having been last modified in RSC 602 on Saturday, 29 Oct.
  • the second object has a URL of http://www.nytimes.com/info/textpath.html having been last modified in RSC 602 on Saturday, 29 Oct. 1996 at 19:56:34 GMT, and having a length of 4096 bytes.
  • RQC 601 receives response 604 and chooses which objects to GET from RSC 602.
  • RQC 401 issues a request 605 to GET http://www.nytimes.com/info/textpath.html HTTP/1.0, from RSC 602.
  • RSC 602 subsequently fills that request by forwarding the body of that object back to RQC 601.
  • the present invention could be used for exchanging information about objects stored in caches on Web browsers, or between caches on Web browsers and caches within an IASP, or between caches that can communicate with each within any locations or between any locations.
